Solar return 2026, timelord Saturn cazimi edition.
it felt appropriate to drop Maxim, my lil pop song about death, on bandcamp for this birthday. As I cross the threshold of one Saturnian profection year into another, I can’t think of a more appropriate time to contemplate the revolutions we make around our star during the little blip of our time on earth... Wild 🪐
BUT actually when I started writing this one in collaboration with the Judgment card a couple of years ago, it wasn’t the number of revolutions on MY own timeline I was considering… it was that of the evil, horrid people who 1) I’ve discovered are even more evil and horrid than I knew at the time and 2) continue in their efforts to make life miserable for the majority of people ALL OVER THE EARTH while they enrich themselves.
The Mother****ers.
Anyway, if you’ve found yourself thinking longingly about a certain someone or others' demise, you may enjoy shaking tail to this tune. Whenever it actually happens, I wanna throw a party and I’m definitely gonna bump this song.

"How beautiful do the words have to be before they conquer every heart?
If I came back as a dolphin would you listen to me then?
Would you let me be your friend?
Would you let me in?"
Thank you, Prince, for the perfect Mercury in Pisces soundtrack. And many other things, too.

under a windswept peak, a water-filled cave
a devil, and its invitations through liminal places
solitude and the acceptance of personal power
these are some of the themes of
Sovereignty, a song I wrote for and with the third decan of Capricorn

What questions and explorations are most relevant to us in 2026, given its astrological and energetic flavors?
This year, I invited artist and astrologer Mara Smith @lizzies_griffs to discuss the arc of the coming year.
2026 completes the outer planets’ transition into new signs.
It also features:
🔮 The Saturn-Neptune conjunction, which happens approximately every 36 years
🔮 The nodal axis shifting into Aquarius-Leo
🔮 Jupiter moving into Leo
Mara and I weaved a unique analysis that divides the year into 3 equal parts, inspired by Mara’s focus on the decans in her practice.
Mara Smith is an artist who enjoys playing at the intersections of mythic time, clock time, and synchronicity in mundane reality. An educator by trade and lifelong musician, under the musical project finfeather she blends genres to create a wide variety of songs, many of which are hymns planets, archetypes, and the decans of the tarot. Her astrological self is currently materializing in a flirtatious experiment with an alter ego, Lizzie, a devoted student of timelord, Saturn. Mara brings Lizzie’s griffs, or creations, to life through music, poetry, prose, contemplations and conversations with the many divine individuals she is fortunate to know in community near and far.
